As we know ,Jaluka was succeeded by Damodra 11. The later built a town on the Damadra-suda (modern Damdra udar) round an arid alluvial plateau to the south of srinagar.He also wished to arrange for its irrigation through a canal which .however could not be onstructed owing to the opposition of some Brahmans.
After he passed away ,kashmir is said to have come under the kushan occupation.The north-west india was,no doubt ,subjected toi several foreign invations following the fall of the Mauryan Empire and Kashmir could not possibly keep herself immune from these convulsion.
There ia a suggestion that for a breif period a part of it came even under the indo-greek and the sakas.Manendar also called Millinda (165-145 B.C ) haf definitely incorporated into his kingdom Gandhra and some parts of the Punjab and made Sialkot as a capital.
The Sakas who followed the Greek controlled a much larger part of northh-west india,including Gandhara,the swat vally and possible a part of kashmir .the sakas were overthrown in india by kushanas in the begining of the first century A.D. Under the later,small and fragmented atates were once again united .Their empire included not only the regions of northern and north-western indian but also of central Asia and Afganistan.
According to kalhana among the kushan rulers whose sway extended to kashmir included Juska and Kanishka.Each one of them founded here a town after his name ,these were called Huskapura (Uskar),Juskapura(Zukur) and kanishka pura (kanispura) respectively.
Kaniska is identified with the well-know kushan ruler of india of the same name.According to a Buddhist tradition he convened the fourth Buddhist council at a place called Kundalvana in kashmir,although some scholars opine that it was held at Jallundar in the Punjab.
